I've taken "export AUTOFEATURE=true" out of my ./bashrc file--now I just get a blank screen when running autotest.  Adding "export RSPEC=true" to .bashrc doesn't change anything either.

When I run autospec, the specs run, then the features, then the features again...and again...and again...and so on.  If I run autotest as follows: "AUTOFEATURE=false autotest", I don't have the problem.  Any other ideas?

No spec.opts file, and just the default cucumber.yml file (I believe):

<%
rerun = File.file?('rerun.txt') ? IO.read('rerun.txt') : ""
rerun_opts = rerun.to_s.strip.empty? ? "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'progress'} features" : "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'pretty'} #{rerun}"
std_opts = "--format #{ENV['CUCUMBER_FORMAT'] || 'progress'} --strict --tags ~@wip"
%>
default: <%= std_opts %> features
wip: --tags @wip:3 --wip features
rerun: <%= rerun_opts %> --format rerun --out rerun.txt --strict --tags ~@wip
